NEW YORK—Romantic comedy makes a pleasant return to Broadway with Delia Ephron’s “Left on Tenth” at the James Earl Jones Theatre. Based on Ephron’s 2022 memoir of the same name, the story shows how love can be found when least expected.
Having recently lost her husband of over 30 years to cancer, Delia (Julianna Margulies), an accomplished writer who lives with her dog Honey on Tenth Street in New York City, now finds herself doing battle with the communication behemoth Verizon. The company shut down the wrong datastream when Delia asked them to disconnect her husband’s phone line. After a few days getting nowhere and being continually switched from department to department, put on hold, and ultimately disconnected again, Delia vents her frustrations the best way she knows how—she writes about it.
